Psalms of Conscious Martyrdom is the third studio album by Sri Lankan heavy metal band Stigmata, released in May 2010. The album has been described as "an incredible journey through passageways of extreme metal with amazing technical dexterity, infectious melodies and heavy grooves to rip the skin off your bones". This is tripped out music that is powerful, memorable and mesmerizing."{{cite web |url=https://archives.sundayobserver.lk/2010/02/14/mag15.asp |title=Passion turned into flesh, an insight into the upcoming album of Stigmata |work=Sunday Observer |location=Sri Lanka |date=2010-02-14 |first=Vimukthi |last=Karunaratne |access-date=2010-05-28 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128144842/http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2010/02/14/mag15.asp |archive-date=2016-01-28 }}{{cite news |first=Natalie |last=Soysa |url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/100620/Magazine/sundaytimesmirror_05.html |title=How to write a Lankan Psalm |date=June 20, 2010 |newspaper=The Sunday Times |location=Sri Lanka}} This is also the first Stigmata album to be sold online.
